Newport Avenue Market is always looking to score awesome homo sapiens (earthlings) to add to the fam.
Be part of the team.
You need to be able to work within a team environment, go the extra mile, be the kind of person that takes it personally, and apply that enthusiasm with a smile. We are also looking for someone able to work effectively and stand behind their results. Once an employee starts, there are no limits on the direction a career can take. A thirst for knowledge is a plus!
We’re employee owned!
In 2015, we became Central Oregon’s FIRST employee owned grocery store! What does that mean? Our employees get to be invested in the company where they work through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). As beneficial owners of Newport Avenue Market stock, employees can benefit from the value over time.
Great opportunity.
It’s an exciting opportunity for you to be part of a retirement plan that is invested in the company where you work. You can have a direct impact on the stock value – unlike with stock on the public market. Your actions on the job can help the business grow, which can influence the value of the stock, as well as your ESOP account.
